It Is the Time for the All Important Santa Letter

Is it that time of year when the snow is falling, the Christmas music is playing, and Santa Claus is on everyone\’s mind? If you\’ve had this experience at your house then your children are probably asking when, oh when can they write their Santa letter to Santa Claus? Writing a Santa letter to Santa Claus is a time-honored Christmas tradition around the world. Some children write to Santa Claus and some write to Father Christmas. No matter, the thought that goes into the Santa letter is the same for children everywhere. They want Santa Claus to know that they are excited about Christmas and writing a Santa letter tells Santa Claus that they are thinking about him. They also want to ask a few questions, because no one has really ever seen the \”real\” Santa Claus. Children write questions in their Santa letter about all kinds of things – like, \”Does Rudolph\’s nose really glow\”? and, \”What is it like at the North Pole\”? One of the main reasons children write a Santa letter is to let Santa know their name and that they want to be on his \”good\” list for Christmas. Children everywhere know the importance of writing a Santa letter.

Well, if you\’re like me I\’ve spent several years with my younger children writing a Santa letter. We usually choose a day early in the Christmas season and bring out all the fun writing instruments we can find to write their Santa letter (colored pencils and pens, crayons, etc.) I also try to buy some cute Santa or Christmas stickers to make the Santa letter extra special. Then they write whatever they want, they might tell Santa what \”nice\” things they\’ve done this year, and ask questions about the Claus house or reindeer. Then they write on the outside of the Santa letter envelope \”To: Santa Claus, North Pole.\” Children love to take their Santa letter and drop it in the mailbox.

This is when parents start to worry. What parent doesn\’t have enough stress and things to do around Christmas time? I don\’t know of a parent that hasn\’t almost gone crazy trying to answer their children\’s Santa letter with a letter supposedly from Santa himself. It can be so frustrating to wonder if your Santa letter looks real and sounds authentic. And who hasn\’t tried to find a postmark from the North Pole? Not to mention trying to make Santa Claus signature look authentic in the Santa letter!

All of these worries and frustrations have been eliminated thanks to \”Santa letter\” websites. Just google \”Santa letter\” and you will be amazed that Christmas help is at your fingertips! These websites are dedicated to you, the over-worked but well-meaning parent at Christmas time. Your personalized Santa letter that you create quickly on the website will look authentic, and be a letter filled with personal information you provide.

Make your Christmas season a little more merry and give your children the Santa letter that they will cherish, and both you and your children will have a Merry Christmas. It\’s the Time for the All Important Santa Letter
